Amy Poehler: Tom's Toy Shopping with Archie!

The 39-year-old Parks and Recreation star recently chatted with the New York Times about her NBC comedy, which returned for its third season last Thursday night.

Asked how much of the show is scripted and improvised, Amy said, “Because we shoot in a mockumentary style everyone’s on camera all the time. So we get to do a lot of takes and sometimes we get to improvise just to fool around at the end.”

“Sometimes those things make it in but frankly,” she added, “the stuff on the page is usually the best choice.”
